Alexis Haritsis, Nassos Iliopoulos, Efi Achtsioglou, Dimitris Tzanakopoulos, Hussein Zeibek, Meropi Tzoufi and Theano Fotiou have been disassociated, thus dissolving the New Left’s CO.
In the last few days in New Left, the tone was high. With leaks from Patission circles close to the secretary and acting president, Gabriel Sakellaridis, the party’s leadership team found itself facing the members of the Haritsis group who were preparing, as it turned out today (Tuesday), to leave the party. The same circles note that they have so far not explained to the party organs the reasons that led them to the decision to leave.
The entire letter of withdrawal of MPs and cadres
.
We are leaving the New Left because we believe that the cycle that opened two years ago has reached its limits. It is a difficult but necessary decision.
We created New Left to keep alive another possibility for the Left, society and the country. To oppose the degeneration, the devaluation of politics, the logic of mediocrity. We fought this battle with perseverance and political honesty.
We fought this battle with perseverance and political honesty.
New Left was not a party of silence or of equal distances. It was the political force that, in an increasingly conservative and authoritarian political environment, had a sharp and well-informed parliamentary discourse and a vibrant movement action. We did not back down on matters of principle. We elaborated and supported radical positions and proposals on every critical issue concerning society and democracy in our country.
We know, however, that it is not enough just to have the right positions or to fight honest battles. What is crucial is whether they acquire social grounding, momentum and social impact. Whether they can organise majority currents and contribute, in the present day, to addressing the critical problems facing the world of work and the social majority.
As the New Left we have put in the public arena the need for the Popular Front, for rallying against the right and the extreme right. The need for a programmatic conflict with the Mitsotakis regime. We insisted on real conflicts.
Today, we see clearly that the strategy chosen by the majority of the New Left leadership cannot respond to this need. We respect the comrades who have come together. We disagree, however, on the crucial strategic issue. Today, our different considerations lead us along different paths. The logic of the autonomous reconstruction of the radical left in times of deep crisis is not enough, at a time when the demand for a rallying of forces and for a real political alternative to the right of corruption, authoritarianism and class bias in favour of the powerful is growing within society. If the Left cannot serve this front today, it cannot serve the necessary struggle for socialism with democracy and freedom.
The current regime must not have a third term, with or without Mitsotakis.
We make this demand. We do not believe that full identification is required for there to be a common path. What is important is to formulate the conditions for a large political and social rally, with the ultimate goal of turning left-wing ideas into applied radical policies.
The renewing and radical left today can and must be useful in the struggle of the people for democracy and justice, in the struggle of the popular classes for life and not survival, in the struggle for peace and against modern forms of barbarism, such as the genocide of the Palestinian people by Israel.
.
That is where the real battle lies today and that is the cause we will work for.
